  • 1.  Trying to understand Federation Partner

    Posted Mon April 19, 2021 06:06 AM
    Sorry if this is a dumb question but..

    I have an SP federation and in it you set the Point of Contact server of the Reverse Proxy that protects the SP. I then export the meta data but do not see a reference for the Point of contact. How will the idP and associated RP for the idP resolve the location of the SP once I import as a partner?

    Thanks..

    Hi Kelly,

    The Point of Contact server is used to generate all of the endpoint URLs that are given in the metadata.

    For example, if you gave your Point of Contact as https://www.example.com/isam, you should expect all of the URLs in the exported metadata to start with this value.
